The title sequence we decided to analyse was Se7en. We decided to remake this film as it had a range of complex and intriguing shots and match cuts. We also decided to make this a remake as we found that the cinematography emphasised the narrative of the film. It also added tension to the particular shots that were created.
We also determined to create a remake of this film as we found it more powerful and challenging than the other films available for the remake, (Gone Girl, Juno)
Furthermore, we settled for the film Se7en as the mise en scene such as the lighting, props and the sound connected simultaneously, to create a more sinister and mysterious atmosphere.
In the preproduction , we firstly analysed the genre of the movie to successfully recognise the code and conventions. For each shot we analysed the props used and the techniques such as jump shots that transfers one shot to another. Moreover, we had to investigate and research the contrast and the pattern of the credits that compliment each individual shot.
For each shot, we had a strategical approach to analyse the shots and type of camera angles. We took photos of every shot, this was done to give use a more precise and accurate understanding of the types of shots used. However, we found that this was time consuming as their was a lot of complex shots to analyse.
For our storyboard, we included the vital props such as the book, blade and a mechanical object to make this remake. On the other hand, the disadvantage of this is that each shot was time consuming and the shots were quite difficult to draw accurately and with authenticity.
In addition, we used a box room with two chairs and a round table which was challenging to adapt to the movie's actual setting due to its dark and sophisticated nature. Also, as part of the movies mise en scene we used dirt and glue on the protagonist's fingers to create a more haunting and mysterious atmosphere to suit to the genre and, overall appeal to the target audience. The props we used in our remake were; a book, table, pen, box, blade and a mechanical object that can move. We incorporated all these these objects to relate to the film's atmosphere and to also give the audience a sense of setting.
The font we used was found in the program and we spent a fair amount of time to accurately identify the particular font used in the film Se7en. This font also tied in with the atmosphere of the film but it also complimented the images that were presented in the background of the sequence. To also successful remake the film, a certain type of animation had to be used on the writing. This also added to the tension of the film as it reinforced the film's setting and the types of camera angles and shots used.
Moreover, the movement of the writing also complimented the ongoing montage of the different images.
The title credits were placed roughly at first with only some precision, but as we added all the images and submerged all the moving pictures together to create a montage, we also tightened the place on the screen and the time to accurately relate our title sequence to the original title sequence.
The colour of the title credits are pure white with a faint contrasting outline of black. The white colour was chosen to contrast the dark, black background and the black outline was added to make the text stand out from the image. This made the atmosphere more tense as the black outline made the text almost pop out of the screen which complimented the heavy jumpy music.
If we were to complete the task again, we would focus mainly on the types of shots used and precisely copy each of them to fit the music so they both can be synchronised. Another thing we would do differently is that we would choose another location to film as the location we had, had a large amount of light that had to be blocked and therefore made the filming process more difficult.
Lastly, in the post-production part of the making of this film, we found that we needed extra time to successfully finish the editing, next time we would consider spending a limited amount of time on each section and possibly split up the work load to complete the editing part faster and more efficiently.
